Crosman even produces a line of zombie-themed airsoft guns.
As paintball gun games gained popularity in the 1990s, more people asked for realistic-looking weapons to use, Hunnicutt said.
"Young people who like to play in their back yard," he said.
The guns also sell to war re-enactors, law enforcement officials conducting drills and former military personnel. The weapons have grown in popularity in the last 10 years, Hunnicutt said.
"They're recreational products. I wouldn't call it a toy," Hunnicutt said.
Holy. Cow. I'm hoping that this was just an out-of-context quote from CROSMAN's CHIP HUNNICUTT...because....well, leave your comments to tell one of the top US company where you think they should suggest "young people" use airsoft....and whether its time to kill off the whole "zombie" marketing nonsense and get down to PROTECTING OUR GAME!
We have to talk, man.
